feel like weight loss is being limited because of a mental health loop, tips to break it?

i have struggled with mental health and weight ever since early middle school. while i have made massive strides in mental health since then, i still struggle with it pretty consistently and the weight i gained during the worse years is still here. i have been able to more or less keep my weight at maintenance since i started college but struggle to lose more than 5 pounds. i have noticed that i may be on a good streak but then i start feeling bad about myself and turn to food for comfort. i then feel bad about turing to food and hate my body but find comfort in food once again.

i know the best answer is to seek professional mental health however my parents don’t really believe in therapy and i’m on their insurance (i’m 20). i can’t be the only one who is struggling with weight and mental health and feels stuck in a loop bc of it. has anyone been able to break out of this without professional help? any tips, both on weight loss or mental health management, would be really really appreciated.
